What Jennifer said!!! Same with me - I used to be a choir alto before I
started studying
voice. Teeny tiny sound - in tune at least but not much more. Now I'm a
soprano, can
sing a respectable High C some of the time, and am one of the better singers in
my choir.
I even get paid to sing sometimes (regular church choir job and occasional
other stuff).
And I love voice lessons and never want to give them up. As much as I like how
my sound
has improved, I also find that singing well is its own reward. It feels great,
and I never
learned how good it could feel until I studied. I used to have no idea how my
body felt
inside when I sang, and now I'm so much more clued into my body. And my
posture is
better. If voice lessons gave me nothing else, they'd be worth it for that.
